Hi, I've had this trouble for ages now. One work around is to double tap the "More" tab and then access devices from there.
Often I have another problem with her app, that VO only speaks through the phone's speaker, whether using BT headphones, or speakers. The only way around this obstacle that I have found is to use wired headphones, or something else such as a speaker connected to that same headphone jack.

I found I was unable to do that. When going to the devices tab I now get a screen that says introducing favorites and I can't find a way to get rid of it or do anying with it at all. This prevents me from working with my devices and speaker groups. Has anyone found a way around this? I did try the pass through gesture with no luck and the amazon website doesn't have the alexa control interface as it used to. Any suggestions appreciated. Don Donna Casteen <[email protected]>: Jan 07 05:34AM -0700 You didn't say which phone that you have; is it possible that screen recognition is turned on? Or that screen recognition needs to be turned on to help you to be able to navigate to whatever is preventing you from being able to use the app. I am not having any trouble using the alexa app. & I seem to recall having to use screen recognition just long enough to be able to get past the problem, then turn screen recognition off. Donna "James" <[email protected]>: Jan 07 12:43PM Hi Don, We had the very same issue on our 12 Pro Max’s, and despite asking Amazon how to get round it, without any help, we discovered that there is an ok button at the bottom of the screen, but with voice over on, try as we might, we could not access it, so I just turned voice over off, and got a sighted person to tap the button, and the screen disappeared. Hope this helps. James.

"Holly" <[email protected]>: Jan 07 08:04AM -0800 Don: I encountered the same thing. There is a button at the bottom of the page, but voice over does not announce it. The only way around this for me was to get sighted help. Turn off voice over and have a sighted person tap the button that closes the page. I can’t remember the name of the button though. <[email protected]>: Jan 07 11:20AM -0500 Don, I had the same problem a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, there is a button that you have to tap to get past this screen which is totally inaccessible with VoiceOver. I had to have my sighted wife tap on it to get past it. You can’t help but wonder if Amazon does any accessibility testing when making changes.

"Mike B." <[email protected]>: Jan 07 09:03AM -0800 Hi Don, Below are 3 different ways to get rid of this screen: Read all the way through before attempting any of the options below just to kind of get your head wrapped around what to do. The 1st 2 ways of getting rid of this screen, 1 requires sight and the other requires turning Hands Free on and then off. These steps are using an SE 2020 iPhone running iOS15.2 and with a Home button. #1, If using sight : When you open the A'Lady app and double tap the Devices tab a screen called, Introducing Favorites, shows up and there isn't a way to get rid of that using Voiceover since voiceover can't read the, Got It, button. So, if you have sighted assistance available, open the app and double tab the devices tab to bring up the Introducing Favorites screen, now turn off Voiceover. Have the sighted person tap the, Got It button, 1 time and the screen disappears for good. With a little luck a blind person can do this as well, but it'll possibly take a few tries. Open the app and double tap the devices tab to bring up the Introducing Favorites screen, now turn Voiceover off. >From the top of the, Home button, move up with 1 finger one half an inch to 1 inch, this is the approximate location of the Got It button, and tap 1 time with 1 finger. Now turn Voiceover on to see if you got lucky. #2, this is how I got rid of the Introducing Favorites screen using Voiceover & Hands Free, kinda sorta: Open the Amazon Alexa app and choose the More tab from the tabs at the bottom, it's to the right of the Devices tab. Go to the top left and swipe right to, Settings, and open this. Go to the top left, swipe right to, Alexa App Settings, and open this. Go to the top left, swipe right to,Enable Alexa Hands-Free, and single finger double tap it. You probably won't hear anything after double tapping , so double tap it again and you should hear Voiceover report On or Off. Turn this On and play around with the hands free functionality for a couple of minutes, and go back in and turn hands free off. Now reboot your phone. This is not a guarantee, but this is how I got rid of the Introducing Favorites screen. It was by accident that I happened upon this , but what the hell, as long as it worked who gives a crap! LOL LOL #3: Using Screen Recognition: From: Tamika Polk This is what I did, Go to settings, go to accessibility, go to VoiceOver, go to VoiceOver Recognition, turn on screen recognition. “Your iPhone will automatically make apps more accessible by recognizing items on the screen.” Open the A Lady app, Open theDevices tab and use the rotor to go to screen recognition, if it is off swipe down, it will say on. Then you can find the got it button and tap it. Then go back to the rotor find screen recognition and turn it off. Thanks, Mrs. Tamika Polk-Davis Stay safe and take care. Mike.

I use a different weather app here in British Columbia, Canada, but I just opened the stock Weather app and temperatures are being read correctly, I use the SIRI Voice 4 United States. I sure hope you do mean 1 degree Fahrenheit when you say you get extremely cold temperatures, that would be about -16 or -17 Celsius and where I live we have barely seen anything that warm in 4 weeks; on Christmas morning it was -36 Celsius here which is -33 Fahrenheit and factoring in wind chill we often had it below -40. By the way, for those who don't know, at -40 Celsius and Fahrenheit are the same. I'm glad I don't live in Northeastern BC where the rest of my family is because there it went down to -48 Celsius or -54 Fahrenheit and that is actual temperature without wind chill.

Bill Gallik <[email protected]>: Jan 06 10:19PM -0600 Oh boy, I could write a dissertation on this subject; but never fear I will restrain myself. First, I think it’s worth noting that 5 Centigrade degrees is equivalent to 9 Fahrenheit degrees. 1 degree Centigrade is the same as 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees - let’s say 2F degrees for simplicity’s sake. And, I will further elaborate. I should note I have a very dear friend in Peterborough ON. with whom I frequently converse, often sharing weather stats so I’ve made it a point to familiarize with the conversions between C and F. In pursuing this exercise, I stumbled on what I view as a remarkable relationship between Centigrade and Fahrenheit, what I refer to as the “Goldilocks Range.” While developing a spreadsheet to learn the temperature equivalents, I discovered the range from 16C/61F through 28C/82F have the phenomenon that the boundary temps are inverted digits; 16 is roughly the same as 61 and 28 and 82 are likewise nearly equal. I realize that some might consider 16C/61F through 28C/82F not an ideal “Goldilocks Temperature Range,” but I submit these temps should be reasonable boundaries to that range for the sake of mathematical discussion. I will say this was the first step in my better understanding the two scales. It’s just too bad that Fahrenheit has that darn 32F as the freezing point, that tends to complicate straight-forward conversions. But on the other hand, if not for that 32F degree glitch, the inverted temps would no longer apply. As I mentioned earlier, every 5 degrees C is exactly equal to each 9 degrees F, each degree C is thusly exactly equal to 1.8 degrees F. As such, 1C degree is 1.8F degrees. And then, of course, and so much more important in the far northern latitudes, there’s exact equality at -40 degrees - no matter which scale is employed, BRRRRRR! I certainly hope this has not been too tedious a read, obviously I’m quite enthralled with the entire matter. And, if I may say, I’m now able to convert between the two scales on the fly with a snap. That’s something I achieved for the sake of my Peterborough pal!

The problem I exposed only occurs at 1F or -1F and then only with select voices. This bug does not manifest with the Alex voice. I have verified if this bug shows up when the temp is 1C or -1C, I’ll have to check that out and report back. So far though, I’ve only noticed it when using the Fahrenheit scale (41, 31, 21, etc.). ************ - Bill from Ino, Wisconsin - “Dear Optimist, Pecimist and Realist” - “While you were arguing over whether the glass was half full or half empty, I drank it.” - Signed, The Opportunist Sieghard Weitzel <[email protected]>: Jan 07 05:01PM But it sounds like what you are saying is that a temperature of 1 °C = to 1.8°F and that is not correct since you have to add 32 to that, so 1°C = 33.8°F. Of course knowing that 0°C (the freezing point) is 32°F is useful and that 20°C = 68°F, you can use the 5°C = 9°F method to figure out what 5, 10, 15 or 25°C would be, but the actual conversion formula for any value is this: Fahrenheit to Celsius Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit less 32, then multiply that result by 9 and divide it by 5 Example For the temperature of 68°F: 68 minus 32 = 36, multiply that by 5 and you get 180, finally divide that by 9 and you get 20 Celsius to Fahrenheit Temperature in degrees Celsius multiplied by 9, divide the result by 5 and finally add 32 Example For the temperature of 20°C: 20 times 9 = 180, divide that by 5 and you get 36, finally add 32 and you are back to 68 Of course I rarely do this any more since I usually have an Alexa or Google Home speaker nearby and all I have to do is ask either one to convert anything I want and if I am out and about I either have my iPhone with me or my Apple Watch on my wrist and I can ask Siri. This morning it is -23C° here and asking Google or Siri to convert it is much quicker than to multiply by 9 which ends up with -207, then dividing that by 5 which = -41.4 and adding 32 which gives me the final result of -9.4°F. Similarly using your method, Bill, and starting from the knowledge that 0°F = -17.8°C is also not an easy mental calculation, I would have to start with the difference between -17.8 and my actual temperature of -23 which is -5.2, then I would have to multiply that by your value of 1.8. I can of course use -5 for simplicity instead of -5.2 and multiplying 1.8 by 5 is of course easy because multiply it by 10 and you get -18 so half of that gives you -9 which is close enough to the accurate result of -9.4. ----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Bill Gallik Sent: January 6, 2022 8:19 PM To: viPhone 📩 <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Temperature Mispronunciation Oh boy, I could write a dissertation on this subject; but never fear I will restrain myself.

I have a Google Home, which is similar to the Amazon Alexa, and I thought I might be able to play my music and Audible books using our Google Home via blue tooth, but the speaker isn't showing up on the options in the Blue Tooth app. Does this mean I can't use the speaker in this way?

Amazon owns Audible so all you have to do is say to Alexa "Alexa, play such and such book on Audible". While the book is playing you can ask to go back a chapter or go forward a chapter, to rewind 3 minutes or go forward 2 minutes, to Pause and Play again etc. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Joshua Hendrickson Sent: January 7, 2022 4:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: voiceover speech and bluetooth speakers The google home is a great speaker especially for music that amazon doesn't have, but the bluetooth doesn't really work like it once did.

This is not the case. I’m not sure if it goes to the next page automatically or not I will have to verify this. *update!** speak screen will still turn the page automatically and will keep reading even when app is in the background.

With the iPhone I've always preferred locking orientation to portrait, and haven't found a reason to use landscape. I'm open to other viewpoints on orientation preferences and advantages for the iPhone, but I'm especially wondering if there are sound reasons to keep the iPad in landscape orientation, or use it that way in some circumstances. So I would appreciate any experienced views.. Thom Spittle <[email protected]>: Jan 07 07:03AM -0500 I Dean, The only observations I have are more with your students more than you. If your student is low vision, they may like the larger size of youtube videos when in landscape mode. Otherwise, the only difference I see is that the keyboard has larger keys in landscape mode, which some user like better. Looking forward to hearig other people’s opinions.
